I did the same with an egg, can't wait to grow an eggplant !

From now on I will keep my bananas in soil. It seems to preserve them really well :D

Nice trick, but you forgot that there is no way a ripe banana still looks the same after 4 weeks.

For those interested in the reasoning behind some of this, it should be noted that Bananas we tend to find in stores are actually a hybrid of a few varieties of Banana. Natural Banana species tend to have issues with either having seeds all the way through the fruit or with just generally being unpalatable. So, the Bananas we eat (initially the Gross Michael Banana, but now the Cavandish Banana...with a small following of the Goldfinger Banana) tend to be cross-bred. Unfortunately, this results in the plant being infertile, so its seeds won't produce new Banana trees however much we try. So, to propagate the Banana tree, we have to take advantage of the ability of Plants to regrow a copy of the parent plant from an off-cutting in the right conditions. This does, however, mean that all banana trees are technically the same plant, and a fungus that kills one will easily kill several, which is why we are no longer eating the Gross Michael Banana, and why Banana candy never tastes like the Bananas you'll find in stores.

This video just taught me how to store my onions LOL

I planted some M&Ms with it so I can have chocolate covered bananas

I have followed all the steps you describe in your video, except I have also cut the tip of the banana in eigth parts and placed a piece if Aloe vera between them, to prevent the wounds from rotting, increse wound healing, promote root formation and keep the parts separated so each part can make roots and form a new plant. It worked, but was not 100% succesful. Not all the sideshoots developed or survived but I got on average five healthy sideshoots per banana. What made it worth the hassle. I started in november of last year (2022) with 10 bananas and ended with 53 healthy plants. At the time the sideshoots became too large to stay in my living room, spring had arrived and the plants were transplanted to the garden where they grew into adult plants in a few weeks time. We are experiencing a warm and rainy summer and the growth is spectacular, to say the least, I think mainly because of the fresh onion compost and the onion juice concoction. When using a compost heap in the garden, each time it rains, part of the nutrients are washed away and are lost. By making compost in the pot itself, as the video shows, 100% of the nutrients do not only stay in the pot, but are also released near the roots, readily avalable to the potted plant. And it shows! The plants love it. Earlier today we finished harvesting half of the plants. At about 50kg banana bunch per "tree" we had to be inventive on how to harvest them as we are not used to harvest bananas in Western Europe. My son almost broke his back after being hit by 65kg bananas when I cut loose the first and largest banana bunch. After some trial and error we now cut the banana "hands" one by one while they are still hanging on the tree. The fruit shops and department stores in my country are very happy with my locally grown bananas. People blind testing mine versus commercially available bananas perefrered mine, for their superior taste. I heard bananas fron Latin America are harvested when they are still very green and turn yellow during their many weeks long voyage to Europe. When harvested green, the rich banana flavours have not developed in the fruit as they do in bananas that stay on the plant until they are ripe. Local papers have picked up the story and generated free advertisement for me. The other half of the bananas (the ones still growing) are all reserved by some top restaurants. I had some chefs over here, who after tasting a banana got totally carried away and started making a list of all the meals end deserts they were going to make with them. They also asked me about "plantain" bananas. Something I had never heard of before. After a Google search I realised I may have been the only person on earth who didn't know what plantain bananas are. I'm looking into it now. I have given my resignation at work and will concentrate 100% on banana growing in Western Europe. I have plans to fill my living room, kitchen and porch with new bananas that I will cut in 16 pieces this time. I will also include some plantains. With my savings I have bought three hectares of land: one hectare to grow banana plants, one hectare to grow onions and one hectare to grow Aloe vera plants. I am hoping for mild winters and warm and rainy summers. We expereinced severely dry summers with multiple and/or long heat waves the previous years. La Niña changed all that. Climate change does have a bright side too, one just has to find a way to make it work for you. Thank you so much for your inspiring video! I haven't watched any others from you, but once the banana season is over I'll wach each and every one of them.Who knows what new ideas I may get. Wish me luck! For those who may wonder: my son is doing much better now and should leave the hospital by the end of the month. The doctors rate his chances for a full recovery as high.

Amazing skills! I worry about other plants in your garden however, they don't grow at all. I compared 0:50 to 8:39 and to 10:20 , 40 and 90 days!!! an everything is exactly the same, no new leaves no growth, just froze in time.... You probably have to use that aloe and onion skin for them too.

Amazing! After 25+ days the banana turned greener! Must try!🤣

I was given a banana tree over 20 years ago from my uncle in Florida. Since then, he has passed on, and I keep growing off springs since they created new plants from their roots. I'm in a cooler climate where I have to bring them indoors in the winter. The 8+ plants will never produce bananas up in my climate since they need warm weather all the time. But whenever I look at the plants, I think of my uncle. If you did not know, if they produce a bunch of bananas, the plant will die. That's why they multiple from their root system of with help like what you did. Nice video. I let them sit in my bog of my Koi pond since they love water.

Love the way the music changes to 70s lounge jazz when the aloe chopping starts- naff cooking show vibes😁

I love how the banana stopped aging jus as you started filming this video 😅 an entire plant grew and it still looked the same lol

6:15 Lol moment - "we have got a sprout" . Like your sense of humor

At the risk of angering the gardening guru: Don't expect to have the ecact same results if you try this at home. For cloning bananas, you'd typically want a sucker (smaller plant growing off the rootstock) and even then, you may not get it right as bananas are notoriously difficult to grow, even in tropical countries with ideal conditions. If you're going to try rooting stuff from parts of the plant which don't normally frow roots, try starting batches of 50 and with luck and the blessing of the garden fairies, you might get a plant.

That was impressive.. and the onion juice concoction for mold fungus deterrent is useful info too! Thank you

Instead of the clay pot, which robs the soil of moisture, use a plastic pot. When ready to transplant, water the soil well, then squeeze the outer pot all over to loosen the soil, put one hand around the plant stalk with your palm flat on the soil, turn upside down and tap the bottom of the pot until it slides right off. Because you watered the soil beforehand, take your other hand and make gentle clawing motions to riffle the soil until it all falls away from the now bare roots. Pulling a plant from the soil is traumatic and there is a high probability of breaking the roots off of the stem.

Keterampilan pembibitan pisang yang luar biasa . semoga harimu menyenangkan🙏

I do the same thing when I plant bananas! I get a chair and a book, wait 15 minutes get the blender and make a banana smoothie! (I plug the blender directly into the planted banana for electricity!)

What a great sense of humor young man!

It seems anyone with a video camera n editing skills can grow anything these day's?🤔🤭 wow the magic that is KZfaq!😂

Awwwwa, you better give that puppy hugs and kisses for me! Thank you for showing us how to grow this tree. How do you winter it? Thanks

what type of Glue did you use for the roots?

I think you would have had more success using the the onions to make some soup.

Very interesting and informative video. I live in South Florida and I need a Banana tree, so here I go!!!!

Had no idea that one can grow a banana tree like this. Thanks for a wonderful video.

That was a fun watch. Intrigued to see how both onions and aloe were involved in the growing along with coconut coir. It's too cold here for Bananas but we have an age old tradition of growing pineapples in greenhouses.

Truque bem feito. Parabéns. Há quem acredita.

Excellent informative video!

That was really cute and informing. The joke was even informing just realized my dog chases parked cars❤❤❤

when you store the onions, you should twist a knot in the stocking between each onion individually so they aren't touching each other, also this makes it easy to cut what you need as you go also they will stay longer.

Boy, that’s a good looking banana for being sitting out for a month. Still yellow even! 😂😂😂😂

Love your videos. Thank you very much. This is the first year my garden hasn't died before bearing fruit. My cherry tomatoes are doing very well I need to go give them more support, and now I think I'm going to trim some of the of the bottom off. Thanks again and I hope you're having a great day!

คลิปนี้ มีดี ที่คุณ หล่อ และน้องหมา น่ารัก😆

Very interesting, very informative - but the best is? YOUR SIDEKICK. That dog is beyond cute.

I sometimes do it the same way, excepting I use Lipton onion soup mix instead of onion juice. And I microwave the banana for 3 minutes prior to planting.

Amazingly I've grown lots of floor tiles using this method. I cut small squares of ceramic and the rest is a walk in the park. 🤭

Wow I never knew that they grow so quickly.

Thank you for detailed hack planting sincere teaching.appreciate very much.some don give detailed teaching.

What is the alternative for the soil used to replant I am from Zambia

Thanks so much for how detailed this tutorial was!!! Exactly what I was looking for!

I'm a landscape designer but first I became a plants man, I always wanted to know how to grow banana 🍌 without failure ❤

When transplanting the young seedling, can you do it with out the coir

it's great i will apply it thank you for sharing this useful thing

I have never seen a banana tree from a banana and I like in a tropical place

Easy to follow... OUTSTANDING! Thank you :)

my father used to have banana trees in his villa like house in uganda very delicious ones small but tasty lol.... how he got the house he was UK citizen but liked to work in africa so they sent him to represent him to the africa nation... low income taxes also as they ask less than the 50+% income tax as working in UK...

Thanks a lot for your fantastic video teaching me how to grow a banana tree.

Wonderful video. Have seen them pop up in composte bins in tropical climates. Would love to try your method next spring, running out of sun and warmth here. Your helper is a gem!💗

1) Store Bought Cavendish Banana 2) WTF, stupid stuff 3) 25 days later, banana hasn't turned to absolute black mush, it's it's got a few months old pup glued to it. 4) 40 days later, a 1 to 2 year old different variety Dwarf Cavendish Tree with 2 pups already. 5) some time later, it's now a Florida Home Depot Banana tree. That's some amazing aloe!!!

After all those years on the island, Gilligan turned out pretty smart!

I did not know about this thank you for sharing

I like your explanation you're a real teacher, I have learn more thank you for your teaching God bless you

Muy bien video unas preguntas en la primera etapa cuando la proteges con la bolsa se riega o no y cada cuánto si se hace directo en la tierra o solo se echa agua en las hojas

My Dad while in Tanzania as an Agricultural researcher he did plant a banana fruit brought about a plant and the banana tree and fruits were named after him as Malulu Banana. Yes you can plant.

VERY interesting. Don't know where you are located, I am in cold North. Thinking I could start this project, say, now in the autumn, and if successful, I would have a full-grown plant to display by next summer. It would not survive the cold, but I could basically grow a new tree (grass as you say), every season. Oh, year, and I should subscribe to you as well. Done.

Amazing technique I started to grow use your method 👍

Isso é magnífico!!

Eu primeiro! Muito simpática e atmosférica! Eu adoro bananas 🍌

Great ideas 😊

While you leave to grow the roots do you leave it in sunny areas or shadow

Thank you, this was extremely educational and you explain so well. Love your humour too. By the way, I always heard that bananas are classed as an herb, maize is more of a grass.

I've been dieing to grow a banana tree! Thank you so much!!!👏👏👏👏

Hey. I want to try this. What kind of onions did you use?

Incredible!

I grew up around banana and plantain trees and never seen them grown like this. But i appreciate this

Thanks for your substantial video, I learned something important the science that was with it.

GREAT SHOW LOVE IT MORE MORE MORE

Why does this feel like an AI generated video

good work ❤

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Your dog is beautiful🐶❤

This is absolutely one of the most hilarious videos on KZfaq. The "identity" double-entendres are not to be missed.

I knew bananas were grown by division but not that they could be grown by this process. I live in Scotland which is not the warmest place on the planet so I'm guessing outdoor growth wouldn't be feasible, but I'm certainly going to try this method for indoors just out of curiosity. Thanks for the vid and the tips.

Great tips and filming 👍

this vid is very different from every vid ive seen on youtube.. very interesting.

Great clip buddy! Are you using potting soil initially and for the first month, sun exposure? Keep up the great work, greatly appreciated.

When at home, i tend to boil the onion skin (husk) in a small pot and consume the fluid which is good for the body. It could also be done with crushed garlic and also be drank for health benefits.

YOU dont do that you lay the pot on its side tap it around until the dirt is released leaving the roots intact then repot the plant

Can you do the same with a coconut?

Thanks 😊 that is awesome.

why do you wash the roots?

So good to see this. Will the banana be transplanted to the ground finally or will it remain in the bucket, for how long?

What climate should these be grown in? I live in the desert of AZ. Can I grow them there? Can I grow them inside? How much water after you transfer to a larger pot?

I wonder if you can plant plantains (elephant bananas) this way.

Aqui no Brasil a gente coloca sorvete junto e nasce um pé de sorvete de bananas.

😂😂😂25 days later and the banana is still edible

Good one.❤

THIS IS THE MOST EDUCATED VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN. WELL EXPLAIN ESPECIALLY ABOUT HAVE ONIONS AND ETC, ALSO U ENJOYED BUDDY🙏❤👍

Many thanks for your well-produced content. Question: Will the plant that came from the banana bear fruit or is it sterile and only useful as an ornamental plant?

I would love to see a video of you growing a blue banana seed from scratch with the same method. I hear those banana's taste like vanilla.

Outstanding!

What are the seeds for if it grows like that?

Thank you for the wonderful video and instructions. I think I will try sprouting either baby or purple bananas. If a dog is required for the process, I already have one.

Can you do this with rose clippings to

I just love it❤

Nice so if Bananas are truly a grass can you cross them with a pot ( Mary Jane) plant for fast growing?

O erro que qualquer um pode perceber é que depois de vários dias a banana não ficou podre 😂 s

This is interesting. when does the banana plant start flowering?

Beautiful

I had a friend who put Epsom salt around his and they grew higher than the Roof of his house. I literally asked him where his banana trees went, and didn’t realize I was standing next to them. He said you’re standing next to them. My uncle grew them too, but I never saw his get that big.

Just wanted to say this tutorial is on the verge of Art. The color saturation, the detailed and elaborate process. And the emotion of the voice over. This is the Rube Goldberg of organics. I still can't decide if i like it and i know i won't do it. So thanks, i think.
